boss8760 says "First eye makeup remover I've liked in a long time" about Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover

boss8760 — Mon, 04 May 2009 05:41:29 GMT

Though I've never been a big fan of eye makeup remover lotions, I found the Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion to be one of my favorite eye makeup removers of all time. When I purchased it for only 99 cents and wasn't aware that it was a lotion consistency. I tried it anyways and found that it really does remove all my waterproof eye makeup and doesn't get into my eyes like the oily versions that I had previously worn.

Apply a dime size dallop (maybe less if you do not use waterproof eye makeup) and apply with a cotton round or a cotton swab. Do this for each eye and before you know it, all the eyemakeup is gone.

The Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion often goes on sale from $4 to 99 cents. And though I feel like I use a lot, a small 2 fl bottle has lasted me nearly a year.

You can purchase Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover lotion at shop.avon.com.

boss8760 says "I'm afraid to wear it out" about e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner

boss8760 — Mon, 04 May 2009 05:28:14 GMT

I purchased the E.L.F Liquid Eyeliner to practice my liquid eyelining techniques. I will admit that I didn't really expect much from the product with it being only $1 and the fact that all the other products that I purchased from eyeslipsface.com have sadly not met my expectations.

I personally found the line to be too harsh which may be fine for other ladies who are more experienced with the look of liquid eyeliner. I also noticed that no matter how many times I tried, the line would not stay consistent. Which I think was more of the quality of the applicator brush than the product itself or my lack of application skills.

The deal breaker for me was the product came right off with a tissue. I never wore the product out because if the eyeliner would wipe right off with a tissue, what would happen if I were to sweat, cry, or get stuck out in the rain? I don't even want to imagine the mess. I'm not surprised at the quality. Afterall, it was a dollar. I noticed some others...

boss8760 says "Average " about Ban Classic Invisible Solid Anti Perspirant Deodorant Sweet Surrender 75 ml

boss8760 — Mon, 04 May 2009 05:14:37 GMT

I purchased the Ban Invisible Solid antiperspirant/deordorant in Sweet Surrender because I was looking for an inexpensive antiperspirant/deordorant and I had a coupon. While I found that the scent was really mild and pleasant and the stick did actually go on invisibly clear, the product itself didn't last for very long without reapplying.

I realize that everyone's body is different and that I may perspire more than someone elses, it was while I was sitting around the house watching t.v doing little to no activity at all that I noticed the slightest hint of underarm odor after only a few hours of showering and applying.

Granted, I may be overly paranoid of smelling like body odor but I don't feel comfortable wearing this out in the heat or to wear while engaging in some sort of activity without carrying it in my purse to have handy to reapply.

As an overall opinion of the product, I find that it is average and compares to most other antiperspirant/deordorants as I have not found...

boss8760 says "I can't believe it works!" about Everyday Minerals Mineral Makeup

boss8760 — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 04:48:56 GMT

As someone who has many facial imperfections including freckles, redness, blemishes, and uneven skin tone, I am always searching for the most full coverage makeup. I always use foundation and powder (sometimes even powder foundation on top of liquid foundation). Needless to say, I was skeptical of the whole powder foundation craze. I had heard first hand from friends who swear by Bare Minerals. Being unemployed, I couldn't exactly afford the Bare Minerals nor the drugstore brands which are at least nearly $10 for all brands. Everyday Minerals is the same as Bare Escentuals having not only powder foundation but powder blush, eyeshadows, and concealer as well. If you go to Everydayminerals.com you can get a free sample kit of 3 foundations, 1 blush, and 1 concealer. All you have to pay is shipping, which for me was only $3. You can choose from several different coverage levels. I chose the intense which is the fullest coverage formula. The pots are very little but have...

boss8760 says "Decent for a dollar" about e.l.f. Earth & Water Regular & Waterproof Mascara Duo

boss8760 — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 04:31:09 GMT

I found the E.L.F Earth & Water Regular and Waterproof Duo Mascara to be well worth a dollar. However, if was any more than a dollar my opinion of the product wouldn't be the same. In fact, I found the mascara to look great on my curled lashes and quite volumizing for a product that is only a dollar. I also liked the convienience of having both a regular and a waterproof formula option in one easy tube. Unfortunately, the removal process was the deciding factor on whether or not I will choose to purchase this mascara again. Both the regular and the waterproof formula flaked horribly when wet and being removed. I would have to use eye makeup remover several times to remove all the mascara flakes from my eyes and face. And as a contact lense wearer, I found that to bit of a nuisance. But overall, my feelings about the mascara are pretty positive if you can handle the mess of the removal process.

boss8760 says "Best console on the market" about Playstation 3 - 80GB

boss8760 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:37:04 GMT

Although, I am a huge fan of the Xbox and the Xbox 360, I can honestly say that the Playstation 3 is the best video game console on the market. For years I denied that the Playstation 3 was more powerful than it's rival Xbox 360. Then I experienced some of the same games on the two different consoles and found that on larger more graphic rich titles, the ability of the Playstation 3 to push these games to the max overshadow the Xbox 360 by far. Playstation 3 also initially offers what took Xbox 360 a few years to accomplish, which is the ability to play personal video bites such as AVI, mp4, and other video formats. Playstation 3 also offers unlimited access to free demos, another area where Microsoft falls short. At first their gaming selection were few, now there are many to choose from. Before I parted with my Xbox 360 it was sent to Microsoft twice for repairs, whereas my playstation 3 has given me no problems.

boss8760 says "the racing game car fanatics have been waiting for" about Playstation 3 - Midnight Club: Los Angeles

boss8760 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 01:19:22 GMT

Midnight Club 4: Los Angeles is the best in the Midnight Club racing series. While other games like Need for Speed, have been lacking customization options and rushing their titles, Midnight Club has had time to perfect the racing experience. The open world of racing has returned with a free roaming Los Angeles City environment and story line. With what seems to be an unlimited amount of racing events, Midnight Club offers Track Editor which lets you create your own race through the open city. One of the most enjoyable features about Midnight Club that other games seem to be leaving out is the ability to customize your car to the max. This includes the ability to change wheels, paint, decals, ride height, interior, exterior, engine parts to brand name cars. With it's 60 frames for second graphics engine Midnight Club Los Angeles definitely gives you a sense of real speed.Midnight Club 4: Los Angeles is for sure the best racing title out on Playstation 3 at this time.

boss8760 says "Miracle Product" about Neutrogena Razor Defense Face Lotion 2.5 oz For Men

boss8760 — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:55:43 GMT

My boyfriend has been trying to find a product to prevent razor bumps ever since he began shaving. After what he thought was just a severe case of acne, he discovered that it was actually a severe case of ingrown hairs that were causing bumps on his face. After years of wasting money buying various products that didn't work, a couple of months ago he stumbled on what he now calls his miracle product. Only after the first use of Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Post Shave Lotion, he noticed a dramatic difference in the overall health of his skin. Applying daily has prevented the troublesome bumps that he has suffered from since he began shaving years ago. The search is over and he relies on this product and won't shave without it. Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Post Shave Lotion is oil-free, dye-free, lightweight, and won't clog pores which prevents irritating his acne-prone skin. It costs approximately $5 and is well worth every penny.

boss8760 says "I love Morelli & Ranger too!" about Twelve Sharp

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:33:55 GMT

Yes, that's right. I feel like I am in love with both of them too after I read a book in this series. Don't know what I'm talking about? Then you must read the books in this series. If not this one, one of the others. It doesn't matter, they are all incredibly funny & entertaining. There is nothing better or worse to say about one book in the series verus the other so below is my comments on the other books in the series.

boss8760 says "Best series EVER!" about Stephanie Plum Series

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:20:56 GMT

I'm not a big series reader but I have every book in the Stephanie Plum series and will continue to collect until it's finale...if ever. Janet Evanovich is hilarious. There is just enough romance without it being too mushy. but what makes it so entertaining is that it is so funny...like laugh at loud, 'make your family look at you weird wanting to know what's so funny' funny. I highly recommend this series. If not the whole series, at least read one (preferably the first). You won't be disappointed.

boss8760 says "She is hilarious" about Janet Evanovich

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:15:01 GMT

I love Janet Evanovich. She is hilarious. The Stephanie Plum series is the best series of books I have ever read. I have every one of them with no plans on getting rid of them. They are funny, entertaining, with just enough romance without being sappy. I literally laugh out loud reading them. I haven't had a chance to read her books that she wrote before the Stephanie Plum series nor I have I read the books that she co-authored with another author but they are on my book list. I highly recommend her and I seriously doubt that you will be disappointed.

boss8760 says "Can't read just one book of this series" about One for the Money

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:11:00 GMT

I am very picky about the books I read. I usually am recommend a book to read, if I like it I will read all the books by that author. That's just what I do. I do not have a public library near my house and I don't want to waste money on books that I might not like. A friend of mine gave me several books to read and this was one of them. I was hooked. I am so in love with the Stephanie Plum series that I won't even read the last book of the series because I can't stand not to know what happens next and I don't want to have to wait a year or however long it takes until the following book comes out. I know that's a bit drastic but they are soooo good. There is romance but the best part is there is humor. And I mean I literally laugh out loud. I totally recommend. Obviously I have the entire series so that I can read them over and over again.

boss8760 says "I don't like Cool Ranch Cheese Pizza" about Doritos - Collisions Pizza Cravers/Cool Ranch

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 04:02:04 GMT

I like Doritos Cool Ranch chips. My boyfriend likes Doritos Pizza chips. You would think Doritos Collision Pizza/Cool Ranch chips would be a great compromise...One bag, two different kinds of chips. I don't know, maybe I'm just being too picky about mixing my flavors but all of the Cool Ranch chips were so covered by Pizza flavor that it seemed like the whole bag was Pizza flavored. Maybe the other Doritos Collision combinations are good but just keep in mind that you will pretty much be eating chips with both flavors on them from being in the same bag. So if you don't think you'll like Cool Ranch Pizza Flavored Chips, this particular bag is not for you.

boss8760 says "It helps me" about Zyrtec Allergy Medicine

boss8760 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:54:15 GMT

I feel like after taking my regular prescription meds plus vitamins and supplements, the last thing I want to take is an allergy pill. I know that I have allergies but I don't feel like they are bad enough to take a pill everyday (or at least I feel that it is tolerable without taking a pill everyday). However, I often help out with the family business which subjects me to lots of dust, cotton, etc. and I sneeze, itch, and blow my nose constantly. But I find that when I take Zyrtec when I know I'm going to work there, it really helps. I've taken Claritin in the past and I feel that Zyrtec works much better. I believe someone told me that Claritin is only for outdoor allergies whereas Zyrtec is for indoors & outdoors. So that could be why one works for me while the other doesn't. It's worth a try if you are an allergy suffer. It is expensive but I believe that it's in the same price range as Claritin.

boss8760 says "Didn't work on my skin" about Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment 0.75 oz

boss8760 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:20:59 GMT

Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment didn't work on my skin. I've had this tube what seems like forever and I've never noticed any blemishes clearing up any faster with use of this products. A lot of times, I skip this product all together and let the blemishes clear up on their own because I know putting this on the blemish won't make any difference. I recently broke out really bad and was desperate for relief so even though I had some left I went ahead and bought Clear & Clear Persagel Acne Treatment which was recommend otherwise I wouldn't have tried another Clean & Clear Acne Treatment. The Persagel worked wonders. I highly recommend the Persagel and recommend that you skip the Advantage all together....

boss8760 says "Finally! Something that works!" about Clean & Clear persagel

boss8760 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:15:39 GMT

My face broke out the worse than it ever had before a few weeks ago. I didn't know what to do. I looked absolutely horrible. I had been using Clean & Clear Advantage Acne spot treatment but it didn't do anything for me. The tube seemed to be lasting forever. I usually hate to buy a new product when I still have some left. But I was desperate to clear up this breakout so I broke down and bought Clean & Clear Persagel acne treatment which was recommended by a Youtube beauty channel guru that I like to watch. Sure enough, after 2-3 days my skin cleared up. It is drying. The zits were replaced by small dry patches but I personally prefer dry skin to zits. You also have to be careful to only apply a small dab, not only because it can be very drying but because it dries white. But overall, I will continue to use this product as it is the only acne spot treatment that I have tried in years that I've had noticable results with.

boss8760 says "Makes your hair sooooooo soft" about Aussie Three Minute Miracle Deeeeep

boss8760 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:00:34 GMT

I really like Aussie's 3 minute miracle deep conditioner. I use it once a week and put it on after I shampoo at the beginning of my shower and rinse it out at the end of my shower. More than likely, I am leaving it on for more than 3 minutes but the end result is super soft hair. And I think it's only around $4. I have tried many deep conditioners but this one is the only one that I've tried that I have noticed a significant difference in the texture of my hair. I highly recommend. If you try it for 3 minutes and do not notice a difference, leave on for a few extra minutes the next time and I think you will.

boss8760 says "Not what I expected " about Jane Liquid Lip Color

boss8760 — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:41:52 GMT

I bought Jane liquid lipcolor today expecting it to be just what it sounds...a liquid lip color. I picked out this gorgeous nude shade called Sassy. Unfortunately, when I went to apply all I got was a very shimmery gloss. I'm not crazy about shimmery lip glosses and I thought I could use it over a real lip color... so that it wasn't a complete waste of money. Unfortunately, it was so shimmery with or without a lip color underneath that I can't even use it. Thank God it was on sale. I wanted to warn everyone that what you are getting is not what it appears. So keep in mind you are getting a clownish shimmery lip gloss with a hint of the shade that the lip color is appears to be.

boss8760 says "I am literally going to have to throw this new mascara away" about Jane MaxLash 2 Mascara Brown to Black

boss8760 — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:32:04 GMT

I cannot believe this. I have been using makeup for nearly 20 years and this is literally the worst mascara I have ever bought. I am going to have to throw this new tube of mascara away because I can't even use it! I bought Jane max lash 2 waterproof mascara today on my lunch break (12:30 p.m.) and since I didn't have any makeup on I decided to go ahead and put some on. When I got home at 5:30 p.m. I looked in the mirror and saw that all the mascara that I applied to my lashes 5 hours earlier was under my eyes. I am so shocked at how horrible is mascara is. I didn't cry this afternoon, my eyes didn't water, I didn't go to the gym...and this mascara was even suppose to be waterproof. ...

boss8760 says "You get what you pay for" about White Rain Conditoner

boss8760 — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:21:36 GMT

I recently lost my job and in my effort to spend as little money as possible, I bought the cheapest conditioner from a brand that I had heard of, which in this case was White Rain. First of all, let me start out by saying that even with a job hardly ever did I buy shampoo/conditioners over $4. So by no means am I comparing this to high end conditioners. Second, let me also point out that I am not necessarily reviewing the product performance. I'm one of these people that doesn't really notice whether a beauty product is working/not working unless it is extremely good/extremely bad. Why am I bothering you with this review if I'm not reviewing the performance, you might ask? Well, I could not get past how watery this product was. It was more liquidy and watery than the shampoo. I realize that I only paid $1 for this product. But with as much conditioner as I have to use to get it through my (thin) long hair, I might as well have spent another $1 and got a decent conditioner......
